Jo, what do you think about this? I think you got some comments on the
suggested JSON format.

Hi Rafał,

in principle fine with me - but I guess all restrictions will be in the
form { <restriction>: true } so I'd rather make it an array.

Also since a restriction implies something not possible, I'd drop the
"no_" prefix too. So in the end it would look like:

{
  "channel": 1,
  "mhz": 2412,
  "restricted": false,
  "active": false,
  "restrictions": [
    "ht40minus",
    "80mhz"
  }
}

Do these value say what the device is restricted from, or restricted to?

I'd argue the no_ prefix makes it more clear that these restrictions
say what is prohibited, not what is allowed.

Make it "prohibitions" (or "prohibited") and fine by me. I'm no native
speaker though, so if anyone could step in if I say crap that would be
helpful.

Not calling it "restrictions" also avoids the awkwardness of the
channel not being restricted ("restricted: false") but having
restrictions, which somewhat contradicts itself on a first glance.
